Burlesque Night at CIRQUE Manchester

8 February 2016

Manchester
is a perfect place to eat, party and simply enjoy life. There are
tons of parties every single day and sometimes it´s hard to decide
where to go. A few weeks ago, me and my friends left the beaten track
and visited Cirque; a more exclusive and secluded gem of Manchester
nightlife. Cirque is an about 5 minutes taxi drive away from the city
centre and already impressed us from the outside. The round, red and
black brick building is right next to a park and seems to be
surrounded by a mysterious air. There is nothing that immediately
gives the name of the club away which made us feel even more
intrigued. It reminded me a little of Stanley Kubrick´s Eyes Wide
Shut; when Bill drives to the secret location. Inside, Cirque is
equally impressing; I´m talking dark wood, fireplaces, chandeliers,
thick velvet curtains and leather couches. The bar, such as the main
room are on the ground floor, where most of the show takes place. A
narrow stairway leads past walls covered in mirrors to a private room
on the second floor, where you can rent a table for an extremely
reasonable price. There, you can also enjoy a part of the show that
seems more private than in the main lounge. The show itself consisted
of a host, leading us through the program and singing jazzy cover
versions of popular songs like All about that bass, and several
dancers sporting feather skirts and fur shawls. My favourite part of
the show was a military themed dance that definitely reminded me of
old Hollywood classics. Personally, I had a great night at Cirque and
I can only recommend giving it a try if you are looking for that
extra something to enhance your weekend!
